Seven years. One well-equipped artist’s studio in Tennessee. A dream of the open sea. Join sculptor Brian Russell for an immersive look at the creation of Helacious, a 44-foot welded aluminum cutter built for the world’s toughest oceans.
Part memoir, part technical masterclass, this narrative guides you through every weld, wire, and wood joint required to build an expedition-grade yacht from scratch. Featuring hundreds of photos, it covers:
• Metal Fabrication & Structural Integrity
• Marine Systems: Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing
• Rigging for the High Seas
• Amenities for long-term Living Aboard
Since her 2016 launch, Helacious has proven her mettle with four Atlantic crossings, including the legendary East-to-West Viking route. Whether you are building, buying, or dreaming, this is the blueprint for a vessel that can take you anywhere.
